What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wheels look fine, unfortunately a couple branches gotbmy down the driver side but I’m gonna wax and polish and see what happens

 

I picked up a Bed Extender this past week for when I'm carrying lumber. Already putting it to good use. Note the bed stiffiners at work. Love these things. (They are from @At The Helm )




Had a lady come up to me outside of Lowe's and wanted to check it out. She'll probably get one. Said she normally hates having to hook up the trailer. Totally understand. This thing was super simple. Wish I had it a couple weeks ago when I had to haul three 4"x6"x12' PT lumber. Think that was a little much sitting on the tail gate.

Wish the middle section was reversible for a shorter length but taller height. Might have my cousin fab something up.

 

Yeah and it melts off your paint like butter too. LOL!

Just installed my new recovery hitch. Seems legit

 

?? ??

 

Cleaned the truck.
Installed new lug nuts and blacked mirror signal light.

 

Finally installed @TheDECKEDGuy Decked storage. Took around 4 hours working with my 11 year old son. Honestly if I didn't have his help I'd be still at. Only the plate was left because it was too late at night to be drilling in my neighborhood.

I'm tired. Lol

 

Hope this helps in your decision.

 

Its all good, I was told that 60% of the time it works every time.. lol

 

I know some of us on here are fans of derping the badges, so I have an opinion question. What do ya'll think about color matching the derp to the body color, instead of black?

 

Gave mine its third rain bath in 5 days. Love the free undercarriage power wash.

 

It would surely tone them down to where they'd be almost invisible. Personally I don't mind the "small" chrome accents. However the chromed bumper end caps on mine are history.
When it comes to mods make it your own and don't worry about what someone else thinks. It's your ride, what do you want it to look like?

 

Are those the graphite wheels? Like the look.

 

My thoughts are that would be a little difficult and probably wouldn’t look very good. At least I’m not a fan of color matched badges if they can match the color

 

I personally don't like color matched anything (including bumpers). I would go with black. Jmo.

 

agree with this. of course my truck is white with all black trim so that's an easy one. i also had the color matched bumper caps in white and i changed them out to the black SR5 ones and it looks so much better. plus that black on the caps matches the black in the Pro taillights. before it just looked wonky to me.

 

I don’t think it’ll stand out much. Maybe just remove the badges if going that route.

 

looking good! I'm in the market for some nerfs...what brand are they and where did you get them? Thanks!

 

So that's how you got your name? You just painted it black and it seemed legit.
